Observer
Name Jeremiah O
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks In the video submitted the time stamp is incorrect, the meteor occurs between timestamp 05:50:00 and 05:50:16. It is very low on the horizon, just to the right of the white lane line and very faint in the video. I was traveling on the interstate and the video is from my dash cam.
